8 ROACH CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Dudley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 8 ROACH CLOSE sales between May 2002 and February 2020 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the October 2014 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the February 2020 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might 8 ROACH CLOSE be worth now?

8 ROACH CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £197,889.

This is based on house price inflation of 34.6%, between February 2020 and July 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Dudley local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 34.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 ROACH CLOSE of £147,000 on 21st February 2020. For the value to have increased from £147,000 to £197,889 over the four years and seven months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 ROACH CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Dudley local authority area.
• The February 2020 sale price of £147,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 8 ROACH CLOSE has not materially changed since February 2020.
